We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is the multifunctional protection.""Norton Security Premium is good, and it's pretty simple to install.""It does not take many resources during scanning.""The dashboard is good.""We like how it can check for issues. That includes files and web browsers.""Flexible antivirus and antimalware software. It also provides protection against ransomware. It's flexible, easy to handle, scalable, and stable.""Protects me from internet vulnerability.""The internet security was a plus, and it's pretty good."

More Norton Security Premium [EOL] Pros →

"I have found the solution to be very scalable, we have 700 employees using the solution in our organization.""The solution's application control feature is very, very powerful.""One of the most valuable features is its antivirus database, which is current and updated daily. Another valuable feature is its capacity to be managed by a single server. The solution is managed by a secure server, so all the endpoints are managed from a central point.""The initial setup is straightforward.""ATP is really impressive, and with EDR, it is the best solution I have ever known.""Stability-wise, it is very good and we have had no trouble.""With Symantec, I always know this tool will be reliable and with the latest protection.""This product is valuable for ransomware protection, general malware protection, and network exploitation protection."

Cons
"Occasionally when you open a ticket, there's a lack of understanding that prevents the solution from being resolved directly.""I don't like the password manager of Norton Security Premium.""The only problem with Norton Antivirus is that it consumes a lot of resources like CPU and memory in the background. Whenever it's scanning, my laptop becomes very slow, and the worst part is you cannot do anything about it. As this product is secured by my local IT team, you cannot even kill that process, and that's what I've felt about many other antivirus solutions. I'm using McAfee for personal use, and I have the same problem.""Having a dashboard that shows the different functions of Norton Security Premium can convince end users that the software is more than just an antivirus solution. This product offers several features, but end users think that it's just one out of the box solution, because the different functions are not explained in detail.""It would be helpful for me if this solution works on our cloud backup data.""The product could always be more secure.""Security Premium's cost could be lower.""During scanning, sometimes, there is a heavy load on the workstation. This needs to be improved."

More Norton Security Premium [EOL] Cons →

"Overall, the price could be reduced.""Since the acquisition by Broadcom, we are no longer receiving the proper support.""In a few cases, when we enable the IPS/IDS feature, there are performance-related issues on the end devices. If we run quite a few features of Symantec, especially the IPS/IDF, it consumes a lot of processing and memory capacity.""The solution should have more integration with other platforms.""When, Microsoft releases a new OS version twice a year, you never know if the current version of Symantec Endpoint Protection will support it. You can have a lag between when Microsoft releases a new client - and then the current version doesn't work correctly - and it could be some months between updates from Symantec.""The biggest thing I would like to see is malware remediation, if there is some kind of outbreak. We'd like to see better remediation and better detection and response. It's pretty good at capturing things, but it doesn't stop everything, so better machine learning would be helpful.""In the next release of this solution, I would like to see more to do with malware, encryption technology, and controlling mobile devices.""If the agent can be minimized so that it can work with in-memory concepts, that would be ideal. As of now, it is file-based, signature-based."
